'83","description":"I find these facsimile Crumb sketchbooks produced in Germany highly preferable to the Fantagraphics or Taschen edited sketchbooks.\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Crumb sketchbooks published by Fantagraphics or Taschen which are highly edited compilations, the Crumb sketchbooks published by Zweitausendeins are reproductions of Crumb's actual sketchbooks, unedited and unexpurgated. The drawings, cartoons, and stories (and notes) in these unedited pages flow and build and are truly like looking directly into Crumb's brain!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrumb's sketchbooks are filled with life drawings, still lifes, street scenes, cartoons, hand-drawn copies of photos and ads from magazines, as well as the germs of stories and comix that would later appear in published form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese beautiful editions feature a leather binding, marbleized endpapers, and a ribbon bookmark. They reprint the sketchbooks unedited, so they include a separate booklet translating all the text into German. The book is housed in a chipboard slipcase with a title label affixed to the \"spine\" of the slipcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cardboard slipcase is Near Fine (mild shelfwear).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis copy lacks the German translation booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zweitausendeins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52026618315050,"sku":"73734","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/8A75823C-0103-48B9-A4D5-1E05B83DBBC3.jpg?v=1783036633","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/r-crumb-sketchbook-july-1978-to-nov-83-73734","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
